Email multiple items from Clipboard - Link rather than Zip so file size is not restricted

If you are wanting to email multiple items from multiple containers in Viewpoint to someone who is not on VfP then you would use the clipboard to do so however i have come across a snag/error when files become large. I believe this is because the Zipped filed trying to be sent is to large to be received. 

I would suggest that the zipped items should rather be sent as a link to download from cloud storage space to avoid restriction on size, this zipped file could be available for a time allocated by the sender at which point the temp zipped file would be deleted..

I believe this would make it much easier to get large amounts of data to people not using VfP.

    +Bryan Walker - and how does one do that?  I myself can't find any option to do that.

     

    More widely, it would simply be better if the Clipboard could be viewed like a Container where all the usual options you can perform on a Container can be initiated in the usual way.  The current Clipboard view is next to useless in most situations.

     

    In that fashion you could copy/paste the metadata grid and capture the hyperlinks to the individual documents that appear on the web page.

     

    Related request:  The ability to put into the computer's clipboard, a HTML table that contains all the metadata and links for the Container in view, but WITHOUT the icons and buttons, so that it can be pasted cleanly into an e-Mail or a "Referenced Documents" table in another document (e.g. an O&M).

    Hi, can't you simply add the items to the clipboard and then create a public link from the clipboard contents?

    This would also save you filling your servers with attachments.
